Enforcer for a Mexican Cartel American Sicario Admits to Killing 30 in U.S.

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat

He describes himself as a “debt
collector” for the Mexican drug cartels, admittedly killed more than 30 people
in the United States, according to investigators.

If Jose Martinez, 51, is found
guilty of dozens of homicides on both coasts, would earn a place among the most
lethal serial murderers in American history.

Investigators have confirmed that
Martinez is responsible for a double homicide in Marion County, Florida, March
homicide in Lawrence County, Alabama, and at least 10 murders in California
2006, according to officials sheriff's office.

Martinez, a U.S. citizen, told
investigators that he had committed the murders and more than a dozen others as
an enforcer for several Mexican drug lords, according to Lawrence County
Sheriff Captain Tim McWhorter.

McWhorter said, "He had a
reputation in the drug world as the guy who will get the job done. If he was
assigned to receive money, he was receiving the money. If he was assigned to kill, the kill was done".

A trail of bloodStartling admissions from the
alleged killer to officials in Alabama,
where investigatorsfrom all involved States converged in early June to interview
the suspect, nearly four months after
the Florida detectives found key evidence linking Martinez to a unsolved case
of 7-year-old, according to Marion County, Florida, Det. TJ Watts.

Authorities probing the November
8, 2006 murder of two Hispanic men, in February determined that DNA from a
cigarette butt discovered in a Nissan truck, where riddled bodies were found of
Javier Huerta, 20, and Gustavo Rivas, 28, matched Martinez said Watts. Authorities issued an
arrest warrant against him.

The following month, authorities
in Alabama investigating the murder of Jose Ruiz, 32, March without revealing
evidence uncovered, said that it was
left by Martinez at the crime scene during his visit to that state, a state
where his daughter resides, according to
Captain McWhorter.

The authorities had previously
suspected the boyfriend of the daughter of Martinez, Jaime Romero, but
"incriminating information from anonymous sources" provided to investigators
suggest Martinez pulled the trigger, McWhorter said.

By chance, Martinez was arrested
by agents of the U.S. Border Patrol in early June near Yuma, Arizona, after
trying to cross the border from Mexico without proper identification. Officials
quickly matched criminal fingerprint
data to Martinez and ordered his
extradition to Alabama, where he now faces charges of murder, according to
McWhorter.

At first, Martinez denied having
participated in the murder of Ruiz, but eventually confessed to that killing after only an hour of questioning.

By then, McWhorter said,
"the floodgates opened and began to confess multiple murders in Florida
and California."

Martinez paused,
looked at him, and thanked him for being respectful, before declaring:
"I'm going to tell you the truth."

Martinez
confessed to the Ruiz killing. But he was not done. He went on to confess to
killing 30 men, McWhorter said. Of those, detectives so far have been able to
identify 13 cases to be followed up.

In Lawrence
County, investigators believe Martinez killed Ruiz out of anger after Ruiz
insulted an acquaintance's girlfriend, and Martinez's daughter.

Martinez told investigators he
worked on a contracts for a Mexican drug lord and other unidentified customers.
He said many of the murders of which he confessed - including the 2006 double
murder - resulted from disputes over trafficking and sales of illicit drugs.

"He is considered a bail
bondsman for the cartels," said Watts. "It's a way you feed your
family. He shows no remorse. He is cold-hearted and grim. "

The sicario describes says he began
killing people at age 16, although it is unclear whether the alleged murders in
that age were conducted at the request of Mexican drug cartels.

Martinez McWhorter claims that in
addition to drug related hits, he killed
people "involved in pedophilia or sexual abuse" as part of a personal
vendetta work unrelated to Mexican
cartels.

The authorities have not
confirmed that none of the victims were sex offenders Martinez said McWhorter.

However, McWhorter said
investigators have found that Martinez is "very specific about the details
of unsolved cases."

"He knows details that no
one else knows, except the murderer. Proof is in the details, "said McWhorter.

Martinez is currently being held
in the Lawrence County Jail Alabama. He is expected to plead guilty to the murder charge
in that county. It is unclear when he will face charges in the Marion County,
Florida

Researchers in Tulare, Calif.,
are investigating five unsolved homicides in which Martinez may have been the
author, according to the Tulare County Sgt. Chris Douglass.

The other five murders in
California may have occurred in other jurisdictions in the state, said
McWhorter

U r a fucking idiot.why would u wish that on your worst enemy but he gonna get the death penalty here for that many murders.we dont like whats going on in mexico any more than u do and we cant control what our gvt does but i can do my little part as i do not buy or use their product or anyone elses.if alot more ppl did that maybe there might be less of a demand for it and less violence but unlike mexico i can keep my weapons to defend myself

A lot of critics and smart asses here in borderlandbeat my source is a cousin that lives in tampico smart alek and although I may not be 100 pct I'm goin out on a limb and saying its him just talked to him again and say its confirmed nothing is 100 but well see u got better sources or bbeat is ur main source of breaking news jeje

I hope violence in México will end, because no one deserves to live in fear and what I hope from the US is for the people there to know about what goes on down here, understand it and help us put an end to this sad situation

to bad for him that he wasnt in mexico, he'd still be a free man. but, you start fuckin around in america and you will be caught. It just goes to show you that the u.s still has recources to pour into 7 year old unsolved murders dealing with DNA. DNA takes a little time to pull but they will get you.

yeah...all I found was mundo and they have erroneously had him dead X2 this past year. But someone says Valor Tamps has the story I will check it out. I check local blogs but nothing yet. Could be true but when a blog has a history of reporting untruths I hold back.

Ok here's latest plaza boss is dragon 18 could be him no doubt it was a golfo jefe tierra, historias have jus announced his death and primo said golfos are on alert and estacas are arriving major movement by the gulf ill keep updating

im guessing the reason he has so many kills is because how can you not crack up when you see that face, thats how he was able to get so close to these people, it's the comical moustache, it;s like the ultimate party favor disguise. hmm, i woonder why he copped to all the murders,with just 2 or so he wont be getting out, maybe he wanted to stop the life...

I hear ya.id probably pull the trigger my damn self rather than have to look at that goofy motherfucker lol.in all seriousness he a u.s citizen he history.he better be making his final arrangements cause they gonna execute him for that

10:23- I agree that Alabama is a death penalty state. My fear is the gov't will do a sweet deal if he talks about who he did the "jobs" for. Case in point, Ex mob boss Whitey Bulger. 2 guys that each killed more people than Whitey, got 12 years each to testify against him at his trial going on in Boston now. Or remember the twins in Chicago? This is not justice in my mind. Once again, if I killed one person, I'd be sitting on death row. Allowing mass murders to walk after 12 years is really going to send a message to the other nut jobs. "Hey,kill as many people you want..Just have dirt on a cartel and we've got a sweet deal for you." Makes me realize the US gov't.can't seem to catch anyone without help from another evil criminal. It sucks.My prayers go out to see real justice served against him. Too bad he wasn't caught in Texas. Thanks again for yet another article on the evil that prevails around drugs. Peace,Texas Grandma.

Thats true.sammy the bull gravano had 19 murders that they definitely cud have pinned on him but they wanted john gotti way worse so they made a real good deal with him at the time.31/2 yrs and witness protection program for him for 19 hits.youre right texas do not play on murder they will fry your ass for that
